    Is There a Statute of Limitations on Parking Violation Fines
    My question involves a parking citation from the state of: California
    I have a notice from a third party collection agency stating I apparently owe $130 on an unpaid parking ticket from the city of Redondo Beach. I realize Statue of Limitations don't apply to the original citation as that was not a debt but rather a fine when issued, however, since this fine has been sold and now is consequently(?) a debt, does that mean that SOL applies in some manner, here?

    It is unlikely that the fine has in fact been sold. A collection agency is an agent -- it collects a debt on behalf of the owner of the debt. What is the basis for your belief that the municipality no longer owns the debt?

    No, there is no SOL on traffic or parking fines. A failure to pay can result in the imposition of a civil assessment of $300 and can also result in the suspension of your driver's license until the fine is paid.

    I would pay the $130 ASAP.
